Examine the appearance of a bill—the genuine have a general dark, neat appearance. 2. Examine the vignette, or picture in the middle of the top; see if the sky or back ground looks clear and transparent, or soft and even, and not scratchy. : 3. Examine well the faces; see if the expressions are distinct and easy, natural and life-like, particularly the eyes. 4. See if the drapery or dress fits well, looks natural and easy, and shows the folds distinctly. 5. Examine the medallion, ruling, and heads, and circular ornarfents around the figures, etc. See if they are regular, smooth, and uniform, not scratchy. This work, in the genuine, looks as if raised on the paper, and can not be perfectly imitated. 6. Examine the principal line of letters or name of the bank. See iftthey are all upright, perfectly true and even ; or if sloping, of a uniform slope. 7. Carefully examine the shade or. parallel ruling on the face or outside of the letters, ete.; see if it is clear, and looks as if colored with a brush.. The fine parallel lines in the genuine are of equal size, and smooth and even; counterfeits look as if done with a file. 8. Observe the round handwriting engraved on the bill, which should be black, equal in size and distance, of a uniform slope, and smooth. This is in genuine notes invariably well done, and looks very perfect. In counterfeits it is seldom so, but often looks stiff, as if done with a pen. 9. Notice the imprint of engraver’s name, which is always near the border end of the note, and is always alike; letters small, upright, and engraved very perfectly. Counterfeiters seldom do it well. Tt was remarked by Stephen Burroughs before he died, that two things could not be perfectly counterfeited—one was the die-work, or portrait, medallion heads, vignette, etc., and the other, shading or ruling above the letters. The great number of counterfeits now afloat, renders it of great importance for every citizen to study the art of detection; and with the aid of these rules considerable proficiency can be made in the art. THE DIME YEAR BOOK. 27 STAMP DUTIES. Revenue stamps may be used indiscriminately upon any of the matters or things enumerated below, except proprietary and playing card stamps, for which a special use has been provided. ostage stamps cannot be used. in payment of the duty charge- able on instruments. A good rule to observe in acknowledging and recording in- struments, is to make a note in the acknowledgment or on the record of the amount of stamp duty affixed, and the day of can- Celation. When two or more persons join in the execution of an instru- Ment, the stamp to which the instrument is liable under the law may be affixed and canceled by any one of the parties.

The “ Seven-thirties” represent a Currency Loan having three years to: run, and then convertible into a gold interest 6 per cent. stock having twenty years to run, but with the right reserved to the government of paying off the loan, in gold, at any time after five years. The term “ Seven-thirties” is derived from the rate of interest which these three-years convertible notes bear, to wit: two cents per day on each $100, or for 365 days, seven dollars and thirty cents on each $100. 2. The term “ Five-twenties” is applied to the 6 per cent. gold- bearing bonds of the United States, to. which twenty years half- yearly coupons are attached, but which may be paid off, in gold, by the government, on due notice to the holders, at any time alter five years. 8. The term “ Zen-forties” is applied to the 5 per cent. gold- bearing bonds of the United States, to which half-yearly cou- pons are attached for forty years, but which may be paid off in gold on notice to the holders, at any time after ten years. 4. The long or unconditional 6 per cent. gold-bearing loan, known as the 6 per cent. of 1881, can not be redeemed by the government at all, except by purchase. 5.

All the greenbacks are legal tender; but $433,160,569 are of the ordinary circulation, free of interest, and $226,000,000 bear simple or compound interest payable on the maturity of the notes, most of them, 6 per cents, payable three years after 1864, the interest compounded ina table on the back of the note every six months. Total, - THE DIM YEAR BOOK. 85 CONGRESS. OF THE UNITED STATES. XXXIXth Session commenced March 4th, 1865, and will terminate March 4th, 1867. : Congress meets on the first Monday in December of every year. The Senate is composed of two Senators from each State elected for a term of six years. They are divided into three Classes as to terms of service: one class goes out every two years, By this arrangement the Senate is renewed biennially In one-third of its memberships. No person can be a Senator Who is under thirty years of age nor unless he has been nine years a citizen of the United States; and he must be, when elected, a citizen of the State from which he is chosen. The Vice-President of the United States is the presiding officer of the Senate. In event of the death of the President of the United States, the Vice-President becomes Chief Magistrate: when the Senate elects its own presiding officer, Pro tempore, who, in case the Chief Magistrate shall die, or va- Cate his office, becomes President of the United States, pro tem- pore, until a new election by the people shall be effected. The present presiding officer of the Senate, Lafayette S. Foster, of Onnecticut, would, therefore, in event of the death of Andrew cmaon, become, pro tempore, Chief Magistrate of the United tates. The House of Representatives is composed of members elected by the people of the several States every two years. No person 4s eligible who is under twenty-five years of age, nor unless he has been seven years a citizen of the United States. By the law of 1850, the whole number of members was fixed at 233, to be chosen by all the States—the appointment being regulated by taking the census of 1850 for each State, dividing it by 283, the quotient being the ratio of population required to elect a member. he ratio, as determined by the census of 1860, was 124,183— Upon which basis the several States were represented; but by act of March 4th; 1862, the whole number. of. representatives Was increased to 241 from and afler March 3d, 1863, by allow- ig one additional representative to-each of the following States, Viz. : Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, hode Island and Vermont. One member has since been add- ed for the new State of Nevada—making the XXXIXth Con- gress stand 242 members; but as only a few of the States lately in rebellion will be represented, the actual count of members Will not exceed 200 present and voting. The Territories are represented by Delegates—one from each, Who may present subjects for legislation, and have the rights of the floor to address the House, but they have no vote. Rc Daniel 8.

The following circular gives all necessary information as to the procedure necessary in purchasing and securing the public lands. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, } GENERAL LAND Orricn, July 19, 1865. 5 Numerous questions having arisen as to the mode of proceed- ing to purchase public lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty land locations, by pre-emptions or by homestead, this circular is communicated for the information of all concerned. In order to acquire title to public lands the following steps must be taken: 1. Application must be made to the Register of the district land-oflice in which the land desired may be situated. A list of all the land-offices in the United States is furnished by the Department, with the seat of the different offices, where it is the duty of the Register and Receiver to be in attendance, and give proper facilities aud information to persons desirous of obtaining lands. The minimum price of ordinary public lands is $1 25 per acre. The even or reserved _ sections falling within railroad grants are increased to double the minimum price, being $2 50 per acre. Lands once offered at public sale, and not afterward kept out of market by reservation, or otherwise, so as to prevent free competilion, may be entered or located : 2. By the applicant filing with the register his written appli- cation describing the tract, with its area; the Register will then certify to the Receiver whether the land is vacant, with its price; and when found to be so, the applicant must pay that price-per acre, or may locate the same with land warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will give him a “duplicate receipt,” which he is requtred to surrender prior to the delivery to him of the patent, which may be had either by application for it to the Register or to the General Land Office. 3. If the tract has not been offered at public sale it is not liable to ordinary private entry, but may be secured by a party legally qualified, upon his compliance with the requirements of the pre-emption laws of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, 1843; and after such party shall haye made actual settlement for such a length of time as will show he designs it for his per- manent home, and is acting in good faith, building a house and residing therein, he may proceed. to the district land-office, 4 THE DIME YEAR BOOK. 61 establish his pre-emption claim according to law by proving his actual residence and cultivation, and showing that he is other- wise within the purview of these acts. Then he can enter the land at $1 25, either with cash or with bounty land warrant, unless the premises should be $2 50 acre lands. In that case the whole purchase-money can be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the residue with a bounty land warrant. 4. But if parties legally qualified desire to obtain title under the Homestead Act of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com- plying with the Department Circular, dated 80th October, 1862. 5. The law confines Homestead entries to surveyed lands; and although, in certain States and Territories noted in the sub- joined list, pre-emptors may go on land before survey, yet they can only establish their claim after return of survey, but must file their pre-emption declaration within three months after receipt of official plat, at the local land-office where the settlement was made before survey. Where, however, it was made after survey, the claimant must file within three months after date of settlement ; and where actual residence and culti- vation have been long enough to show that the claimant has made the land his permanent home, he can establish his claim, and pay for the same at any time before the date of the public sale of lands within the range of which his settlement may fall, 6. All unoffered surveyed lands not acquired under pre-emp- tion, homestead, or otherwise, under express legal sanction, must be offered at public sale under the President’s proclama- tion, and struck off to the highest bidder, as required by the act of April 24, 1820. , J.

The decisive battles of the old world, those of which, to use | Hallam’s words, a contrary result would have essentially varied |the drama of the world in all its subsequent scenes, are num- | bered as fifteen by Professor Cresay, and are: 1. The Battle of Marathon, fought 490 B. c.,in which the | Greeks, under Themistocles, défeated the Persians, under | Darius, thereby turning bacls the tide of Asiatic invasion, which | else would have swept over Europe. 2. The Battle of Syracuse, 416 B. c., in which the Athenian power was broken, and the rest of Europe saved from Greek dominion. 3. The Battle of Arbela, 331 3B. c., in which Alexander, by a | defeat of Darius, established his power in Asia, and, by the in- | troduction of European civilization, produced an effect which | may yet be traced there. | 4. The Battle of Metaurus, fought 208 B. c., the Romans, un- | der the Consul Nero, defeating the Carthaginians, under Has- |drubal, and by which the supremacy of the great republic was | established. , 5.
